Some blog. Some jam. And maybe some ham.

Kittenwar hits the Shops

It’s been out in the States for a few weeks, and reports of its presence on the new arrivals tables at Barnes & Noble have been creeping in, but today was what I’d been waiting for: being able to stroll into a shop near the office and buy a copy of the Kittenwar book.

And here it is, racked up at the Islington branch of Borders (disclaimer: I added the flashing arrow to the picture, it’s not real). Immediately I’m filled with concerns that have never bothered me about other books: why is it not discounted? Why is it on the bottom shelf? Why does the sign say that titles are cartegorised alphabetically by author when this clearly isn’t the case? What happens if I sign a few? Will people think I’m weird if I hang around for a while, waiting to see if anyone picks up a copy, before nudging them and introducing myself? Should I pick up a handful and add them to the new releases table?

Anyway, I’m very pleased. And so should you be. What’s more, you should immediately buy a copy. And if you’re American, you should immediately do the same.

ordered along with the stars in the lid album. since you bought a painting from me i think it’s only fair i buy your book. although i do actually want kitten wars. it is more than a token effort. i can’t wait for the amazon box to pop through my letter box.

i reckon you should have taken a load of your books and place them next to the works of sartre. i like to think that when existensialists need a break they need some cuteness in their lives.
